[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 612191, member: 3162"] I think you are referring to diatomaceous earth. It costs about $22 for 50 lbs from the feed store and works great for a lot of things. Mostly I use it for ants in the feed room. Sprinkle it on the floor and you have no ants. If it ever gets wet, you need to apply it again. It will help with the flies but I estimate a 25% reduction. Fly tags will probably get another 25% or so off of the cows. Regular worming and monthly treatments with pymethrin work best for me. [/QUOTE]
